Stimulus diffusion has to do with expansion diffusion. It's the spread of an underlying principle, even though a specific characteristic fails to diffuse. In other words, something is just a better idea, and even though a specific characteristic of that idea isn't perfect, the general idea is still better than the original concept and therefore catches on and diffuses through culture.
